Postpartum Counseling in New Jersey

Compassionate therapy to help you feel like yourself again after baby.

Support for the Emotional Realities of New Parenthood

It’s normal to feel overwhelmed, anxious, or unlike yourself in the postpartum period.

Bringing a baby home changes everything: your routines, your identity, your relationships, your sleep, and your sense of who you are. Sometimes the adjustment is harder than expected. Sometimes the emotions are more intense than anyone warned you about.

Our postpartum counseling services provide a safe, non-judgmental space to talk openly, process your feelings, and access evidence-based support from therapists who specialize in perinatal mental health.

Whether you’re navigating postpartum anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, birth trauma, or simply feeling lost in this new season, we’re here to help you feel grounded, confident, and supported again.

How We Work

Postpartum therapy at our practice is warm, collaborative, and grounded in specialized perinatal training. We help you make sense of what you're feeling, build coping tools, and feel supported as you navigate this season.

Our approach includes:

  • Validation without judgment: you can say the hard things here

  • Evidence-based coping strategies for anxiety, overwhelm, depression, and intrusive thoughts

  • Tools for managing intrusive worries and sleep-related anxiety

  • Guidance for navigating identity changes & loss of “old self”

  • Support in rebuilding confidence & resilience

  • Flexible style: whether you prefer insight, skills, or practical strategies

We tailor therapy to your needs, whether you want concrete tools, compassionate processing, or both.

We support postpartum parents who are:

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained

  • Crying frequently or feeling emotionally “flat” or disconnected

  • Comparing themselves to other parents and feeling like they’re falling short

  • Having trouble sleeping because of anxiety

  • Experiencing distressing or scary intrusive thoughts

  • Feeling intense worry about baby’s safety or feeling unable to rest or delegate care

  • Struggling to bond with baby after birth or trauma

  • Feeling guilt, shame, or fear they are a “bad parent”

  • Wondering whether they’ll ever feel like themselves again

You are not broken. You are not failing. You are experiencing something real… and treatable.
